Ingredients

How to make it

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees
  • Mix flour, sugar, cinnamon, and anise seeds together in large bowl.
  • Add shortening. Mix until everything comes together. You should have a rough mixture. Use a pastry cutter if you have one.
  • Add pecans.
  • Now, work the mixture by hand until it becomes a dough. It will take a while for this to happen.
  • Separate the dough into 2 balls.
  • Form the dough into rolls about 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter
  • Slice dough into 1/2 inch size cookies. Press in the palm of your hands to flatten some.
  • Place on cookie sheets about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for about 15 minutes. Watch closely. When the bottoms look slightly brown, they are ready. The tops of the cookies will not change color very much.
  • VERY IMPORTANT: Allow to cool completely. About 30 minutes. If you try to remove them too soon, they will literally disintegrate.
  • These cookies are very delicate when hot.
  • In separate bowl mix some sugar with some cinnamon.
  • Carefully remove the cookies with a metal spatula. Carefully coat them with the sugar mixture.
